Nutritional Information

Preparation

Cut in half and scoop out the juice and seeds with a spoon. The seeds can be sieved out if preferred.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place for as long as it takes for the fruit to wrinkle and shrivel.

Choosing

Choose fruit that feel heavy for their size. The shell should be a deep purple colour and unblemished. Passion Fruit are best eaten when they are wrinkly and shrivelled - this is when they are sweetest.

Fun Fact

Passion Fruit derives its name from its flower (Passion Flower), which is said to symbolise the passion of Christ or, more specifically, his crucifixion. The devout can identify the three nails, the sponge soaked in vinegar, the wounds, the crown of thorns, and the apostles.
